Surprisingly, there are a huge number of prophecies from a variety of sources that indicate the special position of the time in which you and I live. And although predictions are sometimes not entirely reliable, they can still be taken as "information for thought" …
Let's start with the most "popular" prophet - Michel Nostradamus. In their sensational book "Deciphered Nostradamus" Dmitry and Nadezhda Zima, it seems, were able to correctly find the keys to the encrypted chronology of his prophecies. And what is their main conclusion? After a whole series of wars and upheavals on Earth, the Golden Age should be established, by about 2035. This will be associated with the return to this world of some ancient spiritual teaching, forgotten by people.
Events in Iraq are referred to by Nostradamus with discouraging clarity:
"The left militant hand will point to Mesopotamia (the territory of Iraq) …" (9.76).
“Five and forty degrees the sky will burn. Fire will approach from the great city of the new …”(6.97).
(At the forty-fifth degree east longitude is Baghdad, the "new city" - of course, New York)
And here is a little about what awaits us when all the worries are over:
“After that, the Golden Age will begin. Peace will be made between God and people. Spiritual authority will return to itself the highest authority”(From the“Epistle to Henry”).

There will appear "a new sect of philosophers, Despising death, gold, honors, riches, will not be limited by the native mountains, in which followers will receive support and cohesion" (3.67).
Vanga
Vangelia Pandeva Gushterova, who became known to the whole world as the blind woman Vanga, more than once amazed her contemporaries with surprisingly accurate predictions. Sometimes grandmother Wang also uttered amazing prophecies concerning the future of all mankind. What is most surprising - it also mentioned the war in Iraq and the most ancient teaching. So, once she said: “Soon the most ancient teaching will come into the world. People ask me: "Will this time come soon?" No, not soon. Syria has not yet fallen! " (Syria is very close to Iraq, in addition, Vanga spoke indistinctly and because, perhaps, she said “Assyria.” This ancient state was located just in the territory of modern Iraq.)
And here are some more prophecies of grandmother Vanga: “The earth is entering a new period of time, which can be called the time of virtues … The future belongs to good people, they will live in a wonderful world that is difficult for us to imagine … All the hidden gold will come to the surface, but the water will disappear … So it is predetermined. (By "gold" here we mean true wisdom.) … The most ancient teaching will return to the world. There is an ancient Indian teaching. It will spread throughout the world. New books will be published about him, and they will be read throughout the world."
Bible prophecy
Among all the books of the Bible, there are two that contain prophecies that are addressed to our day. These are the "Book of the Prophet Daniel" ("Old Testament") and "Apocalypse (Revelation)" by John the Theologian ("New Testament").
The prophet Daniel speaks of the time when "the kingdom and power and greatness of the king in all the heavenly places will be given to the people of the saints of the Most High, whose kingdom is an eternal kingdom, and all rulers will serve and obey Him" (Dan. 7.27).
John the Evangelist says: “He will dwell with them; they will be His people, and God himself will be their God with them”(John 21.3). And Satan will be "bound for a thousand years, so that he will not deceive the nations already."
The same Dmitry and Nadezhda Zima, who deciphered the chronology of Nostradamus, seem to have found the correct key to the time calculations given by Daniel and John the Theologian. And, surprising as it may seem, but the “end of times”, or the beginning of a new time, according to the prophecies of both books, falls in 2038, almost next to the date indicated by Nostradamus.
Seventh Lubavitch Rebbe
Hasidism is a trend in Judaism that arose in the eighteenth century. The Hasidim profess the joyful glorification of God by singing and dancing (which is very reminiscent of the sankirtana movement founded by Sri Caitanya in the sixteenth century in Bengal). The Hasidim all over the world are headed by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, teacher and spiritual mentor. The seventh Lubavitcher Rebbe was Menachem Mendel Schneerson (1902-1994), who made great strides in the revival of Judaism after World War II. During the last years of his life, he constantly spoke about the imminent arrival of Moshiach (the Messiah, who should bring spiritual liberation to all mankind). For example, in the spring of 1991: “Live now in the New Age. Study it. Talk about him. Look carefully at every detail of our world and imagine what it will be like in these times. Be here. Don't just hasten his arrival,but also get ready to receive his good."
Dead Sea Scrolls
In the winter of 1947, three Bedouin shepherds discovered in the Qumran caves on the shores of the Dead Sea, ancient scrolls hidden there by the Essenes sect back in 68 BC. These scrolls contained many predictions, some of which have already come true.
The French linguist Felix Bonjean was one of the scholars admitted to these scrolls. He claims that they say the following: "From 2025, happy centuries will begin for people without economic crises, poverty, wars until 11191."
Helena Roerich
Helena Ivanovna and Nicholas Roerich wrote a lot and said that soon a new era would come on earth, an era of higher consciousness. The secret knowledge of the ancient sages will be revealed to people. This will be preceded by a period of great upheaval.
In one of her last letters (February 18, 1955) Helena Roerich writes about unfavorable events that will take place in the late twentieth - early twenty-first centuries: “Events will unfold unexpectedly … A terrible time will sweep through with a cleansing whirlwind. The difficulty is that many still do not understand the reason and meaning of what is happening on the planet … There will be no World War - only some collisions."
Veda
What do the Vedic scriptures say about this? The Vedas are the oldest and most complete scriptures on earth. They contain surprisingly accurate and comprehensive information about the structure of the Universe, about the cycles of time, about the past and the future. Among other things, in the Vedas one can find predictions of the coming of Buddha, Jesus Christ, Mohammed and even the English Queen Victoria …
The Vedas describe in detail a cycle of four ages, constantly repeating on Earth (and throughout the Universe): the Golden Age (Satya Yuga), the Silver Age (Treta Yuga), the Bronze Age (Dvapara Yuga) and the Iron Age (Kali Yuga). … You and I have the pleasure of living in the Iron Age. It began about 5 thousand years ago (this is exactly the time when the main events described in the Bible begin to unfold) and will last 427 thousand more years. However, this Iron Age is unusual (this happens only once every 8 million 640 thousand years). In 5 thousand years after its beginning (just now!), The inclusion of Satya Yuga - the small Golden Age - should begin.
In the Brahma Vaivarta Purana, the Supreme Lord Krishna (Krishna in Sanskrit means "All-attractive") says that 5 thousand years after the beginning of Kali-yuga, His great devotee will appear in this world, who will spread the chanting of the holy names of God everywhere: “Not only in India, but all over the earth, people will be chanting Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare / Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare. Thanks to this, the whole world will become one. It will be composed of the devotees of the Supreme Lord. And since the devotees of the Lord are very pure, anyone who comes into contact with them will be purified from the reactions of their sins. This era will last 10 thousand years."
Srila Prabhupada, who founded the International Society for Krishna Consciousness in New York in 1966 with the aim of spreading Vedic knowledge around the world, often spoke of the fact that we are on the threshold of a Golden Age that will last 10 thousand years. Here are excerpts from a conversation he had with Allen Ginsberg, the famous American poet and composer of the time, in May 1969:
Ginsberg: Do you think there will be more or less people chanting the Hare Krishna mantra?
Prabhupada: More, of course more. Now their number will grow. People will enjoy this opportunity for ten thousand years.
Ginsberg: And then?
Prabhupada: And then gradually they will stop doing it.
Ginsberg: So this is the last hope, the last breath of air?
Prabhupada (laughs): Yes. Therefore, the sooner we take the path of Krishna consciousness, the better.
And here are the words spoken in an interview with Dr. Arnold Toynbee in July 1973:
“This Movement will grow. For ten thousand years this Krishna consciousness movement will continue to grow and expand as predicted in the scriptures. But for ten thousand years, everyone will have the opportunity to become Krsna consciousness and thus attain the goal of human life. And when these ten thousand years are over, the dark days of Kali-yuga will come. But there is time. Ten thousand years is a lot."
